For the last few days I’ve been singing “Jesus Loves Me” to Rebecca a lot. She loves it 🙂 Always puts a smile on her face. I usually do it during a diaper change. I did it today before her nap, as usual. And had it running through my head…as usual 🙂 Then I sat …
Turkey Noodle Bake
I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. It’s simple and delicious. I’ve made it with turkey, chicken and ham. They all work well. It’s a good casserole for using up leftover meat after a big holiday meal. I made this batch for a family from church. I doubled the recipe since the original only makes …
My Body…Part 1
Over the last 10 years (at least) God has shown me many things by using my frail, human body. I could probably write a book about it, so I’ll try not to add too much detail. I guess I’ll start with my digestive issues. They became noticeable in college (even though looking back I had …
Butternut Squash and Italian Sausage Soup
I got this recipe from Elaine at church. It is really good!! It does take a little bit of work, but it makes a huge batch of soup, so it’s worth it. I managed to use up another squash (only half was necessary for the soup…that’s how big they are!). Two to go yet 🙂 …
Shepherd’s Pie
I’ve never made shepherd’s pie before…I don’t think I’ve ever actually had it before. And neither had Justin. But I decided to make it with our leftover mashed potatoes. I looked up quite a few recipes…they are all a little different. So I decided to not use a recipe and make my own 🙂 I …
Thanksgiving Feast
We had quite a spread for Thanksgiving yesterday. I hosted, so I provided all of the hot dishes. I’ll post the recipes for a few of them. I made a 20 lb. turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, squash and green bean casserole. Family members brought corn souffle, pink salad, applesauce, rolls, pumpkin pie, apple pie …
Hungarian Cabbage Rolls
Saturday we visited my BIL and SIL in Webberville. They have spent quite a bit of time in Eastern Europe over the last few years and have learned to cook some traditional Hungarian food. They made cabbage rolls for us on Saturday. They were really good! Maybe I’ll have to try making them myself someday. …
Vegetable Soup Stock
This recipe is from Justin’s mom. I’ve never made it myself, but have used some stock she gave us. It’s very good. Vegetable Soup Stock 2 quarts green beans12 large carrots5 stalks celery3 green peppers9 medium onions1 peck tomatoes (enough to fill roaster)1/4 cup salt Chop veggies fine. Cook until tender in large roaster. Process …
Au Gratin Potatoes
I made au gratin potatoes with our pork roast. I got this recipe from Velveeta a while ago. I’ve made them several times. I didn’t have any…I don’t eat a ton of potatoes. But Justin likes them. Although he says a lot less onion would be good. Au Gratin Potatoes 4 cups sliced potatoes (4-5 …
Cornbread
I’m serving corn muffins with the corn chowder tonight. I got this recipe a long time ago from All Recipes. And I’ve never tried another one since then. It’s so good. And so easy. You don’t even need to use a mixer. I usually make it in a 9″ round pan. But I’m doing muffins …
